Coincidentally, I had a conversation about dating and climate change with a friend today. We both agreed that people showing off their exotic travel destinations have become a turn-off. Especially when they use airplane emoji’s in their bio. On the other side: it does feel like some sort ‘race’ to show off those fancy place to communicate how well off you are, and not having pics like that may make you less attractive (but then again, why would I want to attract those huge polluters?). Dating gets you in a weird headspace, fucking hell.
I’m 36. People of my generation were thought that travelling was the best life goal you can get. If someone my age didn’t travelled afar, it’s because it was too poor to do it. You can’t change your history and there’s no picture of the future yet.
Weird headspace and fucking hell indeed.
